Today’s businesses face a growing range of data threats — from ransomware and accidental deletion to full-scale cyberattacks. BackupAssist Classic v15 has been developed to meet these modern challenges head-on, helping businesses strengthen their cyber-resilience and maintain business continuity under pressure.
With v15, we’ve taken our flagship solution and super-charged it for the modern threat landscape. From tamper-safe cloud backups to instant VM boot for recoveries, this release is built for secure and reliable cloud backups, rapid recoveries, and greater ease of use – enabling organizations to recover quickly and operate confidently when the unexpected occurs.
What’s New in BackupAssist Classic v15
Tamper-Safe Cloud Backups
BackupAssist Classic v15 introduces cloud immutability to protect off-site backups against ransomware and unauthorized changes. This feature ensures that once a backup is written, it cannot be altered or deleted during its retention period – providing a secure, reliable recovery source you can depend on.
Refined and Smarter Interface
The redesigned interface streamlines the backup creation and management process. Cleaner navigation, clearer setup screens, and more intuitive job controls reduce configuration time and minimize user error – helping IT teams protect systems more efficiently.
VM Instant Boot for Rapid Recovery
When downtime strikes, every second matters. The new VM Instant Boot wizard allows administrators to create and manage instant boot files, enabling them to launch systems directly from a backup as a virtual machine. No more command lines or complexity; instant recovery is now just a few clicks – and minutes – away.
Together, these innovations enhance the reliability, flexibility, and recoverability of Windows Server backup environments – ensuring data protection aligns with modern business needs.
Why This Matters: Cyber-Resilience & Business Continuity
True cyber-resilience is about more than responding to threats, it’s about being prepared beforehand – and ensuring that, if something does go wrong, your business can still function. BackupAssist Classic v15 helps you do exactly that by safeguarding cloud backups against compromise, enabling fast restoration, and ensuring that recovery processes are straightforward and dependable.
With cloud immutability, your backup data is locked against tampering or deletion during its retention period – effectively creating the most reliable recovery point possible. While no technology can offer an absolute guarantee, immutability gets you as close as it comes. Even if ransomware spreads through your network or a cloud account is compromised, your immutable backups remain untouched and ready to restore.
When paired with disk-to-cloud (D2C) backups, this protection becomes even more powerful. D2C allows you to create a full image backup directly in the cloud, giving you an offsite recovery option that keeps your business running, even if local systems are compromised. Together, D2C and immutability provide a robust foundation for business continuity – protecting your data at every stage and ensuring that recovery is swift, clean, and dependable.
In short, BackupAssist Classic v15 helps you move beyond basic backup to achieve true cyber-resilience: recoverable data, uninterrupted operations, and the confidence that your business can withstand whatever comes next. All this at a price point that makes this advanced cyber-resilience solution something that organizations of all sizes simply cannot overlook.
